Hi. Here's what I've been told: if you want closed adoption, your best bet is to go through the state. Most agencies support (aggressively) open or semi-open adoption. Semi-Open means less contact, at the absolute minimum, photos and letter twice a year. More open agreements involve phone calls, the most open involve meetings with the birthmother on a regular basis.
I wanted closed as well but had to accept that I wasn't going to find the child I wanted that way. We are going for semi-open, photos and letters at the most.
Best of luck!
